The temperature has warmed up a bit in my neck of the woods, however it is still below average for this area. The cooler weather is something you will not hear me complain about at all. It has been so nice, that the majority of our time is spent outside these days.

Because DJ is back this summer, the garden is getting lots of extra attention. We are now just waiting for everything to take off. Even though growth is slow this year, things are still happening in this garden of mine. We are still enjoying more kale and swiss chard than we know what to do with, and the green beans are also finding their way onto our table. Hopefully in the next two weeks we will be enjoying squash and okra, which both have blooms and small fruit on them already.

Some other stuff that is showing up is tomatoes. We have a few small green ones, which makes me super happy. I am also happy about all the volunteer tomato plants that have shown up throughout the garden. About a month ago, we dug up 7 small plants and gave them away. I would say that there is about that many or more that have popped up in other places in the garden. This means extra tomatoes!!!

My basil is taking its time this year. I am ready to start eating fresh basil on everything, but my plants are still pretty small. Speaking of which, I better get out there and waters those cute delicious little herbs.
